Description

Marcio Montarroyos (1948-2007) was one of the greatest Brazilian trumpeters of all time. He was also a composer, arranger, producer and impresario. Along with the Brazilian saxophonist, composer, arranger, producer and tv host Leo Gandelman (1956), he plays his version of 'O Barquinho' (The Little Boat), written by the Brazilian composer, record producer, guitarist, vocalist, and one of the pioneers of bossa nova, Roberto Menescal (1937).

With views of my hometown, the wonderful city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Recorded in the album 'O Rio e o Mar' (2009 - This album was edited and launched two years after Marcio's death by his friend, Leo Gandelman).

Original lyrics in Brazilian Portuguese:

Dia de luz, festa de sol
e um barquinho a deslizar
no macio azul do mar

Tudo é verão e o amor se faz
num barquinho pelo mar
que desliza sem parar...

Sem intenção, nossa canção
vai saindo desse mar,
e o sol beija o barco e luz,
dias tão azuis!

Volta do mar, desmaia o sol
e o barquinho a deslizar,
e a vontade de cantar

Céu tão azul, ilhas do sul
e o barquinho, coração,
deslizando na canção

Tudo isso é paz, tudo isso traz
uma calma de verão e então...

O barquinho vai,
A tardinha cai
O barquinho vai,
A tardinha cai...
